This 3-Day plan helps us unpack and recommit to the original intention of Christ for all disciples to take up their cross and follow him. Turning over our self-life to the one who can guide us on this journey called new life is the first step toward spiritual renewal and revival.

Where Is Your Cross?

Take a deep dive into Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 6, where Jesus teaches us things that will mark His followers.

We suggest a Thursday start day.
